words with no spellings

I long for the word
never written
no typer ever typed
in the whole world of words

word hound am I --

conjurer of meanings

when dogwoods
bloom--cold winds blow
same with blackberry’s
wind --

on wind,
words with no spellings

 
only meanings
of wind.

Hello Victor Claude,

I totally adore the idea of things that cannot be written about because they have not been named, labelled or otherwise tied down. Wild words, so to speak. Can it be done? Or are we always falling back on the well-used, worn, domesticated words? The only stanza that didn't sit quite right with me here was the first one, so I am leaving you a couple of ideas: I long for the word never written (the one) no typer (in the word-world) ever typed Yours, ~Nina
